The first-ever Navy Week in Montana took place Aug. 14-20, coinciding with the Montana State Fair. Three cities, Billings, Bozeman and Helena, hosted events that drew thousands of local residents who interacted with Sailors who shared their knowledge, talent and professionalism. Navy Weeks serve as our principal outreach effort into areas of the country without a significant Navy presence. The program helps Americans understands that their Navy is deployed around the work, around the clock, ready to defense America at all times.
